DIY Tube Buffer Pre amp (used) sold

I'm using this preamp and loving it. This pre equips with one of the best parts available. Mundorf Silver/oil caps, Black gate, Nichicons super through, Elma steps volume and outboard power supply/transformer, MIT wire (red/black). very quiet, wide spacious sound. You can read one of well known hifi blogger (panzer aka BigE) when he was in desirable audio blogspot and now in hifi unlimited. The review as follows:

"This pre amp is an interesting one, because it is a tube buffer by
design, incorporating and step attenuator and selector switch. The
buffer design nature means no gain and no feedback. In theory at least,
it should sound as transparent as a passive pre, minus all the drawbacks
usually associated with the passive unit. Built quality and parts are
impressive, with a pair of Sylvania 6922 forming the heart of the pre
amp, flanked by parts like 1% metal films resistors and 3% Mundorf
Silver/Oil caps, to improve L/R channel matching tolerance. Eat your
heart out! Musical Fidelity X-10D, which ever version!"
"Many systems easily gives the "they (the performers) are here, in
the room" presentation, but just a few days ago, I experienced a system
that represents that "you are there!"perspective. This is the story of
such a system.
Sting(the system owner, not the English
man in New York!), goes around the world as part of his job demands. He
is an ardent fan of live concerts, not the stadium filling type mind
you, but rather the intimate Jazz bar, or acoustic live type of
performance. The type of concert that Hardrock Cafe best known for.
These performing environment forms his point of audio reproduction
reference. Sting's music diet consist of mostly live recordings of such
performances and live studio recordings, of acoustic folk, pop/rock and
blues musical genre mostly.
Listening
to this system, one gets the feeling of being transported all the way
to the event!, being part of the audience, smoke, beer and all the
sensation of "being there!". The system re creates the "stage" literally
to a very high degree convincingly. The air is not only between
instruments, but also between the performers! As a certain hifi guru
used to quote, "breathing the same air as the musicians" now makes so
much sense to me. The sound stage is virtually 3D in presentation with
almost life sized scale, when playing all these recorded live
performances. One of my favorite live performances ever recorded is Eva
Cassidy's Live at the Blues Alley, it's like I was there. With this type
of presentation, all the usual audiophile sound description almost
becomes meaningless. But this is an hifi blog, one with high end
aspirations if I might add. So we'll still dissect the sound just a bit.


Tonality
is warm, highs airy and smooth, but full of energy so important to the
aspect of recreating the "live performances" so convincingly. The mids
have body and density, not only have mouth, but chest and waist
portrayed. The bass, though does not extend particularly low, does has
enough heft, to still make bass guitars and kick drums, well, kick ass!

This is a system to immerse yourself in to the live event re created!"
